Payment Tech – Payments in (or as) Your Business, and Fraud Protection Tech

Our next event of 2023 is featuring experts in the technology of digital payments, including how your business accepts payments, building a business around payment transactions, and the current state of fraud prevention technologies and how you can use them to protect yourself. No matter what segment your business is in from e-commerce to services, payment technology is a critical factor in success and managing fraud is essential.

As always, we are starting things off with a networking happy hour and wrapping it up with a rooftop (or indoor, weather dependent) DJ party and fellowshipping with this great local tech community of innovators.

Featured Speakers:

Ryan Grokulsky, Chief Innovation Officer at Madwire

As a long time industry veteran in the marketing and payments industries, Ryan has seen the evolution of digital transaction technology from past to present. With industry experience from his prior company iMobile3, then acquired by TSYS, along with multiple other high-volume payments-related businesses, Ryan has seen the transition of the payments industry from legacy players to tech-first companies like Stripe, and now into the next generation of digital payments on the horizon.

Ryan will share insights about the past, present, and future of the digital payments industry and how you can plan for the future of what is coming next.

Aaron Sheklin, Vice President, Payments, RealPage Inc

Aaron is a payment expert with a history of building and advising successful businesses built around payments as a business model. He will share insights about adding revenue streams to your business based around payments or incorporating payments into your business model itself.
